A new Little Caesars restaurant is expecting to be tossing pizzas in the air by Wednesday.

The franchise is owned by Mike Shaub and his wife Janet of Charleston, S.C., and David Myers, who also owns franchises in Roanoke Rapids, Rocky Mount and Wilson.

“This will be our sixth store between us,” Shaub said.

Shaub, formerly the chain’s national vice president of franchise services, has 33 years in the business. He recently sold several stores to open a number of pet stores. He currently owns pizza franchises in Orangeburg, S.C., and Ohio. Myers was formerly a marketing manager and has 21 years with the chain.

The new store will feature a carry-out menu, pick-up window and the company’s signature $5 hot-n-ready cheese or pepperoni pizzas, crazy bread with crazy sauce and chicken wings.

“They are ready all the time,” Shaub said about the hot-n-ready fare, “from the time we open to the time we close. You don’t have to call ahead.”

From 4-8 p.m., the store will feature its three-meat treat pizzas with cheese, pepperoni, sausage and bacon, deep dish pepperoni pizzas and Italian and jalapeño bread. These items will also be ready to purchase.

“We focus on making pizza fast and fresh,” Shaub said.

Additional toppings are extra and made to order.

The store’s everyday special is a large pepperoni or cheese pizza, eight-piece crazy bread order with sauce and 2-liter Pepsi for $9.99. Look for coupons in the mail next week.
